HistoryThe Legacy, originally titled The Ink Blot, was founded in 1990 when West Texas State University joined the Texas A&M System. Three years later, in 1993, WTSU officially became West Texas A&M University. Along with the University name change, the creative arts journal revamped its name and so The Legacy was born. The next decade of The Legacy remains allusive, and only a few surviving copies from those years exist. However, in the last four years, the staff of The Legacy has strived for excellence in the publication, and each year is an improvement over the last.
